Abstract
AbstractAndrogen deprivation therapy (ADT) combined with docetaxel or antiandrogens (abiraterone, enzalutamide, or apalutamide) improved the outcomes in men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). When multiple options are available, the dilemma remains how to choose among these options. Similarly, issues of bone health, long-term side effects of therapies, and hereditary risk need to be discussed for comprehensive care. In the present article, we reviewed the relevant evidence for the treatment of mHSPC. ADT alone is not the current standard of care for most patients. In these times of plenty and price crisis, it is imperative to find the best option for treating these patients.
